Bullet Bill Speed Trial
Bullet Bill Speed Trial is a sponsor that appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which makes a cameo appearance in some of the promotional material for Nintendo's collaboration with Kansai International Airport. The company presumably either runs or times the Time Trials that can be played in the game, and is apparently run by Bullet Bills. The logo of the company consists of the company's name written in a simple slanted beige-colored font on a red background, below a simplified image of a Bullet Bill on a navy blue background, in the same beige color. These rectangles are separated by a beige line. However, on the trackside banner variant, all of the writing and imagery appears in the blue rectangle, with just a thin red one underneath. The sticker variant retains the design from the trackside banners, but without the beige dividing line, and a smaller red line at the bottom. It is advertised by means of trackside banners, signs, cans, stickers, posters, appears on a varnish and is also referenced on a map.

Coconut Cafe
Coconut Cafe, originally written as Coconut Café, is a chain of cafés that appear as a sponsor in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The company's original logo from Mario Kart Wii featured the company name written in a white font, on a wooden board like background, spelt with an accented "e". The company's logo was updated in Mario Kart 8 to include a white image of a Pianta with a green skirt and leaves holding a coffee cup. The company name is still written in white, but now uses a different font and the name no longer has an accent on the "e", and has white zig-zag edging. It is advertised by its cafés alongside the courses and signs.

In an earlier build of the game at the E3 demo, the Coconut Cafe in Toad Harbor was present and in the same location as the final game, however rather than using the redesigned logo for Mario Kart 8, it still used the old design with the different name from Mario Kart Wii.

Fountain Cafe is a chain of cafés that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The original logo consists of the original name in a script font with an orange spiral on the left, on a green gradient background. The updated Mario Kart 8 logo consists of the word "Fountain" written in white inside a blue banner with a yellow outline, and the word "Cafe" underneath in yellow, with two coffee beans either side of the word. The logo also has variants, one of which removes the banner but adds a semi-circular outline to the words, and moves the coffee beans downwards and adds a white cup of coffee too, containing a swirl similar to the first logo. Another variant consists of the two words next to each other to the right of the coffee cup, with one yellow line above it and two below. The other variant is just the coffee cup from the logo on an orange background instead. It is advertised by the shops that appear alongside the courses, signs, posters and bottles.
